Mozambique army destroys rebel base: police

The Mozambican army has destroyed a base used by Renamo rebels — the country’s main opposition — to launch ambush attacks, police said on Sunday. Renamo, which previously waged a 16-year civil war that ended in 1992, has refused to accept the results of 2014 elections when it was beaten once more by the ruling Frelimo party, in power since independence 40 years ago. Renamo has in past few years staged a string of deadly attacks in the country as it fights to make its voice heard and for a greater share of power.
